Answer:
Justin
Step-by-step explanation:
the leading exponent is x^8 as it is the largest of the three (trinomial) the coefficient of x^8 is 6 as it is the number attached to x^8
Our Equation is
![6a=5b](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6a%3D5b)
which means
![a = 5b/6](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%20%3D%205b%2F6)
Now we have to find this ration
![\frac{a+b}{b}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Ba%2Bb%7D%7Bb%7D)
Inserting value of a into this equation
![=\frac{\frac{5b}{6}+b}{b}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Cfrac%7B5b%7D%7B6%7D%2Bb%7D%7Bb%7D)
![=\frac{\frac{11b}{6}}{b}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Cfrac%7B11b%7D%7B6%7D%7D%7Bb%7D)
![=\frac{11b}{6b}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B11b%7D%7B6b%7D)
![=\frac{11}{6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B11%7D%7B6%7D)
The employee will need to figure out how many groups of 0.4 points they have beyond a score of 2.6. To do this subtract 3.4 and 2.6.
3.4 - 2.6 = 0.8
This is two groups of 0.4.
So, 0.5% + 1% + 1%= 2.5 % pay increase.
